Why ISO 19770?
1.Although it may be applied to other asset categories as well, its primary purpose is to manage IT assets. Its suitability for controlling firmware and embedded software, either fully or partially, has not yet been established.
2.It can be used with non-executable software such as fonts, graphics, audio and video recordings, templates, dictionaries, documents, and data, as well as executable software such as operating systems, utility programs, and application programs.
3.All technological environments and platforms are covered by ISO 19770, including cloud computing and more conventional computer settings such as virtualized software, on-premises software, and software-as-a-service.
4.Reduce your cloud costs and keep an eye on department-specific costs and use.
5.Following the goal definition, you should, like any ISO certification program, begin by auditing current procedures to find any weaknesses or potential areas for improvement.
6.Planning, carrying out, and reporting on the program, could cause more delays and mistakes and ruin your efforts by upsetting the business. And how can you be certain that all the records are complete when it comes to overseeing an external audit?
Many find themselves in a last-minute scurry to fill in data gaps and address anomalies, spending time on calls and emails. Improve your software tracking and inventorying procedures.
